Thankful Thursday

While Thanksgiving isn't celebrate in Australia (anyone want to come here and do a dinner anyways??) because we didn't have pilgrims and Indians.. We had convicts, free settlers and Aboriginals.

However I still think November is the perfect month to think about all we are thankful for and to spend some of the time devoted to activities that will make the children reflect and not think about me me me and all they want for Christmas.

Here are some wonderful thansgiving ideas I found on the net.

Chocolate on my Cranium's Thanks and Giving Trees. I would show you a photo of mine but I only have a black and white printer so mine isn't as pretty as hers.

I love love this idea from The little travellers - A Gratitude Tree.. I made one today.. my photo isnt clear - do you know how hard it is to photograph some bare sticks??

Each day write something you are grateful for on a thin strip of paper and tie in around the branches. Children could attached paper coloured leaves etc.
